Barium nitrate has the formula Ba( NO3)2. Which statement is true about barium nitrate?

1 answer:

4 0

I found these four statements for that question:

Each molecule contains four different elements.

Each molecule contains three atoms.

Each molecule contains seven different bonds.

Each molecule contains six oxygen atoms.

The last one is true. Each molecule contains six oxygen atoms.
The number to the right of O and of (NO3) ares subscripts.

The chemical formula uses subscripts to indicate the number of atoms.

The subscript 2 in (NO3)2 means that there are two NO3 radicals.

And the subscript 3 to the right of O means that each NO3 radical has three atoms of O.

Then, the number of atoms of O is 2 * 3 = 6.

So, the true statement is the last one: each molecule of Ba (NO3)2 has six atoms of O.

From that molecule you can also tell:

- Each molecule contains one atom of barium

- Each molecule contains two atoms of nitrogen

- Each molecule contains two NO3 radicals

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Indeed, the two samples should contain about the same number of gas particles. However, the molar mass of $\rm O_2\; (g)$ is larger than that of $\rm H_2\; (g)$ (by a factor of about $16$ .) Therefore, the mass of the $\rm O_2\; (g)$ sample is significantly larger than that of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample.

Explanation:

The $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample here are under the same pressure and temperature, and have the same volume. Indeed, if both gases are ideal, then by Avogadro's Law, the two samples would contain the same number of gas particles ( $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and $\rm H_2\; (g)$ molecules, respectively.) That is:

$n(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{H}_2)$ .

Note that the mass of a gas $m$ is different from the number of gas particles $n$ in it. In particular, if all particles in this gas have a molar mass of $M$ , then:

$m = n \cdot M$ .

In other words,

$m(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{O_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})$ .
$m(\mathrm{H_2}) = n(\mathrm{H_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})$ .

The ratio between the mass of the $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and that of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})}{n(\mathrm{H_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ .

Since $n(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{H}_2)$ by Avogadro's Law:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})}{n(\mathrm{H_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ .

Look up relative atomic mass data on a modern periodic table:

$\rm O$ : $15.999$ .
$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .

Therefore:

$M(\mathrm{O_2}) = 2 \times 15.999 \approx 31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .
$M(\mathrm{H_2}) = 2 \times 1.008 \approx 2.016\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Verify whether $\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ :

Left-hand side: $\displaystyle \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{1.43\; \rm g}{0.089\; \rm g} \approx 16.1$ .
Right-hand side: $\displaystyle \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}}{2.016\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 15.9$ .

Note that the mass of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample comes with only two significant figures. The two sides of this equations would indeed be equal if both values are rounded to two significant figures.
